There's too much of that junk that I eat! But not all the time. But the cereal every day!!! And margarine, almost everyday, because butter won't spread! :(

Normally these kinds of commented lists are helpful, because some people dont oganize the information well, or ramble on for video length, etc. In this case youre doing this man a disservice. He is actually presenting a lot of good knowledge and anyone that wanted to skip ahead to read the list just had to click towards the end of the video... so you are not only needlessly redundant but also trying to take away from his viewership.
I'm Mongolian. Our life style is nomadic. Every time I hear something like this I feel our life style is the most unharmful, peaceful, healthy and free of any bad toxins. People now understand how it is important to lead more natural based life.
@mike 201314 me too. We should stop sabotaging our country and our life style. I would say Mongolia is the earth heaven if someone ask me where the heaven is on the earth.
You're right. The thing is, if everyone became a nomad right now, billions of people would starve to death. Can't undo thousands of years of development overnight. Gotta take baby steps.
Actually that margarine bit was so much worse back in the day. i remember when i was a kid and people said "fats are bad for your health" they also said "eat more margarine, because it was the heart healthy alternative". i specifically remember my parents and grandparents specifically say "don't get butter, get margarine"
I remember that we always had margarine in the fridge when I was a kid. Soft drinks, low-fat milk, low/no fat salad dressings, saccharine packets for our tea, etc. The kitchen was a chemistry set.
Same. 😂 80s, 90s kid? We only ate margarine. My mom found buy butter for baking, but it wasn’t something you used regularly. I started butter during the early low carb days.
Yes. Constant praise for margarine back in my day. My dad was skeptical, but not an argumentative person. He had grown up with few luxurys in the 1920s and 30s, and knew quite a bit about basic farm food and stretching a dollar.
I'm 58 and just woke up to this madness. Since rerouting my brain on FOOD, actual food, actual nutrition, actual value in health??? I've dropped 35lbs of extra dead weight. Useless, excess flib-flab just taking up real estate on my bones. Now? I see it. I don't want that non-food in or on my bones. Thank you for this thorough teaching. Thank you Jesus for the help!!!! Love you all!!! from Northern Minnesota 🙋🏼♀️🌹
I had 4 weeks off processed food then i got a new job and to celebrate i thought i would come off my eating plan for a few days... Well... I've gone off chocolate, pizza, cake, crisps, chips, processed crap, sweet popcorn etc. It's actually incredible. Seed oils. Flour and sugar make me feel sick. And the worst thing was my body. It felt like I'd aged 20 years. The inflammation. The legs and whole body seized up. In the morning i couldn't walk properly. I was waddling. Like an old person. My flexibility had gone. My face swelled. I felt sick. It mentally and physically attacked me. Actually blew my mind. So straight back onto clean whole eating i go. Food is so powerful. I don't think people realise.
@@NickBen87well said. I’m experiencing much the same thing. Still a way to go but I know I’m moving in the right direction. Went to a pub last night and had a bun-less burger, with real cheese, a salad instead of fries, and a homemade slaw (I assumed the dressing wasn’t low fat - forgot to ask). At lunch I was in a cafe and had walnut and blue cheese salad. It came with sliced apple which I’m moderating because of the carbs, but at least it was natural. It came with a slice of brown wholemeal bread, which I didn’t eat again because of the carbs and most likely the “modern” wheat it contained. Both meals were satisfying. I didn’t feel I’d missed out at all. I think though restaurant owners need to watch Ekberg’s videos. They’d be doing their clientele a massive favour, even if it means increasing what they charge to cover the cost of better ingredients. (Also, despite forgoing the fries and the burger bun, I still had to pay the full price!)

I feel so horrible for how little I knew before about health. I truly have abused my body pretty much without knowing it. I can't thank you enough Dr. Ekberg for educating us.
You are welcome LisaR Nichols. It was my pleasure. Just don't beat yourself up about the past. You did the best you knew how. Celebrate how much more you know know. 😄
No more diet sodas for me. Can't believe how much aspartame I must have consumed by now?#YIKES! Be careful coz it's even in many of the flavored waters that have nerve to advertise as Healthy Choice!!😳
just want to say that I have followed your advice and you honestly may have saved my life... I was 287 pounds with a 90 resting heartbeat and a average of 165 / 90 blood pressure WITH medications. I was just recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I saw one of your videos and starting to put your methods into practice. It has been 3 and a 1/2 months and I am down in weight from 287 pounds to 228 pounds! My resting heart rate has gone down to 77 beats a minute! My blood pressure has gone down to 120 / 70 and my blood sugar never goes past 100 even when i eat! (Says around 80 while fasting). I cannot express my gratitude enough Sir, you have My respect and I truly believe in your truth because I live it! (My apologies but I am going to post this same comment on your other videos in the hope you will see it or that it may inspire someone else).
That's crazy, awesome improvements! Crazy to think that some people's baseline resting heart rate is 90, I had that rate just before being diagnosed with lymphoma, and not a small one mind you, 14 cms wide in the lungs! I'm usually 50 bpm. Being as high as 90 was what made me go to the docs. Full remission by the way. Congrats again. We're all gonna make it.
Bravo! Keep up the good work, you are doing yourself a huge favour. I was overweight once too, so I know how hard such a life can be. You can do it! God bless you!👍👊💪
At the very end he says that they will shorten your life, which is very true. The problem is that we don't think about the shortening of our lives until we get to ages of when our lives are shortened. And then the damage has already been done.
Hi Sten, I knew a lot of your content in this video, mostly from German sources, but you represented in such a clear structured and understandable way, that is second to none. Thanks a lot from Germany
If Americans followed this guy's advice the American food industry would collapse, organic farms would thrive and battery chicken farms would go bust overnight.
Finally health information that's not in the form of a 50min ad that repeats and repeats but never gives you the actual answer lol. I have to say, this Dr is from a rare species. Loving this real, yet informative channel.
You should create breakfast lunch snacks and dinner plans for people. That's my biggest problem is trying to figure out every day what to feed my family without poisoning myself and them. It's so hard when half the food in the US is poisoned
I know all this and have done for ages, but sadly I, like many, find it difficult to eat as healthily as I know I should. Hope everyone is encouraged to try and improve their diet. Good luck and health to everyone.
The 'problem' with butter is, that it isn't spreadable out of the fridge...it's the reason my dad eats margarine...:( He can only eat soft bread, and things like that, because he doesn't have his own teeth anymore...
This doctor makes a lot of sense. He carefully explained everything and he tells the truth and he is very intelligent and he's teaching us how to be healthy and what to avoid and basically explaining all food groups
It hurts me that I know my grandchildren live on this junk food and to an extent my children and husband also. I do try to tell them, but they don’t get it.
going to the supermarked, most of the shelfs have products with malicious intent. to say they are criminals might sound a bit extreme but they are. the entire food industry is out to capitalize on our health. they use every trick in the book to manipulate our behavior and consumtion habbits. be it color or product placement, chemicals to trick the brain, advertisments or wrong labels. over 70% of the products u can buy at a supermarked u shouldnt bc of health reasons. this is absolutely insane!!
Dr. Ekberg , I have been watching your videos because I have a fatty liver and my doctor never never mentioned it, just gives me pills. My blood specimen show increased results and I began watching your videos. You are teaching and making us aware that we can change our entire lives, be healthy in mind and body. Amazing videos Thank you so much for your research, valuable time, expertise and importance of them. I've always believed as an 83 Senior now..female that FDA changed due to population growth and people that live in the country are healthier than most. They live differently. I have forwarded some of your videos for others to Educate and know REALITY of our health. Bless you for giving us your research and videos.
Imagine nursing homes feeding these exact BAD foods with no reprucussions. I have lived in 2 nursing homes that serve these poisonous foods. every meal. There are a lot of sick people here. I told them I wanted to be served organic and raw. It took them quite a while to send me salads. That would be iceberg with carrots on top and non organic salad dressings. I sent those back and finally they sent some dark leafy greens with carrots on top covered with saran wrap and put in a cold fridge. Everything about it was cold and flat, so I rejected it. In Texas, after medicaid and the nursing home takes care of the finances I am left with $60 a month to buy myself some decent fruits and nuts and veggies. $60 is not enough. They display a form called Residents Rights on the wall but they don't follow the rules. The nutritionist said there was no basis for the foods I was talking about. She did not want to talk to me and walked out the door agitated. Her resistance tells me that these poisonous foods are being served on purpose to keep the people sick. I have listened to a lot of people talking about genocide on this earth. Serving poisonous foods on purpose keeps people sick for a long time. My feet and legs are swollen. Metabolic acidosis is the main label. Too much acid in my blood. How do I talk this nursing home into serving everyone decent, non poisonous foods? WOW.
When I was 15 I think aspartame had just came out and nobody knew at that time how toxic that stuff was. I used to drink Diet Coke every day. About a year later when I was 16. I started getting seizures in my sleep. Nobody could figure out what was causing these seizures. I went to neurologists and they put me on anti seizure medicines. It helped but I was still getting seizures ( I was still drinking driest coke). It wasn’t until a few years later when I was 18. I had my first seizure while awake. I fell and hit my head. I still have a knot and scar there on my forehead where I hit it. I was rushed to the hospital and the doctor looked at my medical history and saw I was taking Tegretol ( anti seizure medicine ) but was still having seizures periodically. So he asked me on that day what I had eaten. I told him my lunch and a Diet Coke. And it was like the pieces all fit. The doctor told me that there had been some recent studies that showed aspartame caused seizures in laboratory rats and this was in the Diet Coke. I had no idea. If the FDA knows this why are they putting it in a drink. I cut Diet Coke out altogether. And once I stopped drinking it I never had another seizure and was able to come off my seizure medicine. Today I am 51 and I will never eat, drink, or touch anything with aspartame in it again and have been seizure free since I was 18. You are right this stuff is straight up poison
Government agencies should never be listened to when it comes to what you put in your body these folks are easily bribed by lobbiests and big money corporations, never ever take a Government agencies word for anything let alone on things you put in your body like the covid vaccines ect.....
Quoting Healthline: People who have a condition called phenylketonuria (PKU) shouldn’t ingest products containing aspartame. PKU is a rare genetic disease diagnosed at birth. People with PKU aren’t able to properly process phenylalanine, so it can accumulate to dangerous levels in the body. Quoting Pubmed article -> Epilepsy and phenylketonuria: a case description and EEG-fMRI findings: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is characterized by phenylalanine accumulation due to phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency. Up to 50% of PKU patients experience seizures.
I just did not appreciate till now how much our food is messed with. I've been watching Dr Eckberg's videos for a little while now and have learned to shift my diet to actual food as much as I can.
Low fat milk is a real eye opener for me. I used low fat 1% milk for over a year now. I never thought they altered milk by chemicals. I will never buy low fat products again.
I wonder if I am not alone who feels cheated, deprived, lied to, upset and angry that any food detrimental to humans’ health is allowed not only to be created, but even sold be to us for our hard-earned money?
I agree with you but it’s also the age of waking up. Meaning look around you and find the truth. The tell a vision (tv) hypnotized us and we took everything for truth. Not me anymore
Never trust your grocery store products...there's no guarantee they're all healthy. You MUST do your own research to know what's good for your own body. The information is out there...like this Dr and his videos are excellent! Also search out Naturopathic MDs...many are on here RU-vid.
Soy una más ➕ que se pregunta lo mismo. Pero la industria agroalimentaria es un monstruo depredador sin escrúpulos con profesionales adoctrinados y sin escrúpulos.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your excellent work. I agree with everything you said. Literally everything. It is great to hea from a real doctor who actually cares about people...not pushing drugs. If only we could get medical training to focus on proper nutrition instead of how th system is now..bless you and àl the other real doctors out there. ❤
I have not eaten any of the top 10 list since I started digesting these videos back in Jan. '23. My A1C is at 5.0, down from 7.9. I am now off all diabetic medication since March and was able to stop the last of my BP meds in June as my BP is at 118/50 with-in 5 points either way. My morning fasting glucose is between 75-100. It is so easy to do OMAD when I properly balance low carb, protein & fat. I never weigh myself except at Dr. Apts, but I am down from 208 to 145 since Jan. '23. If, (when) I feel hungry after I have had proper meals I use the bullet proof coffee, often at first but hardly ever any more. I eat 2MAD when I am with family and friends and socials. Once I learned what to eat and what not to eat, it is an easy lifestyle. It does take some time and planning, but with beef in the freezer, some emergency frozen veggies, nuts, seeds and Greek Yogurt I can always have an acceptable meal. I keep frozen Salmon and never let my shelf be empty of Sardines, eggs and avacoda. I feel great, sleep longer and better and have a great mood. I wish all Doctors would learn this lifestyle and learn specifics on blood labs and colesterol numbers so there would be back up for this lifestyle. I never stopped any medications without consultation and recommendation from my PC MD. As of 09/02/2023 everything still going very well, my weight is 140 #'s fully clothed wearing shoes. I have been 2mad and and my "cheating" has been 1/2 Asian Pare or a couple of small plums 1-2 times a week . I did stop cheese and cut my portions of Red meat & pork and eggs so my Western Doctor will not want to put me on a Collateral meds.
@@christelmayer I listen to make sure what I have learned is exactly what was said. My mind might not be perfect and there could be areas I am a little off. It is like the difference in reading a poem a time or two and memorizing it word for word. If listening over and over is inhibiting your comprehension, let me know and I will tell you I do not listen anymore.
@@andersonhutsell8368what is your favorite brand of frozen salmon 🍣? Ive found that I need sauce for fish vegetables etc… is Mayo with siracha acceptable? Or, what do you use? Thanks 😊
@@bobettel1243 I do not use any sauce except EVOO. Wild caught Atlantic Salmon from Walmart. Hard to find wild caught. Stay away from sauce and read labels avoid prossed and high GI foods. I never eat anything as high as 20 GI.
Love your videos and watching them I made significant changes in my diet. I’m 58 and after eliminating brown sugar, flavored coffee creamers and fruit juices over a span of 12-18 months I lowered my A1C from 6.5 to now 5.4 not pre-diabetic. Now: Fresh lemons and limes in my filtered water, Monkfruit in my black coffee, Greek yogurt w fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries and blackberries) granola and dark chocolate pieces. 2 pasture raised eggs daily with multi grain bread. All these daily diet changes have made me much healthier!!
@@penniroyal4398 Check out some other Dr. Ekberg videos. Cholesterol levels can be up to 450 and you can still be healthy. In fact, elevated cholesterol levels are healthy up to a point. It's another lie we have been taught. Triglyercides on the other hand should be lower. I eat many eggs and have great labwork. Just make sure they are pasture raised, and preferably Organic.
@@derin111 And, lettuce is one of the most nutritionally devoid green leafy plants in nature anyway, which is probably why they don't bother making it worse. (Not "unhealthy" per say, just not particularly beneficial, either.)
This is the best video I’ve ever seen. This man changed my life. I always sought good health but could never attain it. I’m 67 years old and workout and live a healthy lifestyle. I thought I was eating healthy by consuming plenty of healthy vegetables and other unprocessed foods. I allowed myself to have unhealthy snacks and thought it was ok because I ate healthy most of the time. Once I eliminated all of the items on this, I feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you for writing this comment. I'm the same age as you and have lived pretty much the same way. This is the first time I've watched one of his videos. Thank you for posting your comment, I will be watching more of his videos and learning.
Great video. If our government and the FDA had any concerns about the food we eat they would outlaw these products, but they don't we are on our own. Eat well my friends 🥦
Dr Sten, SO glad I found you! Thank you so much for taking the the time to SPREAD HEALTH to us. Your explanations are so thorough and inspirational and make things so understandable. ❤
I am 77 years old. I remember an era when I was told that egg was poison. Later came a time when it was said us to eat eggs. They where healthy until, again... eggs should be avoided. I believe that you may eat everything if you do this in balance. Mother lived 103. She ate what she pleased but never too much. I do not trust these rules.
What? You are questioning government inormation based on science? Careful. They are almost at the point of starting witch hunts for anyone that thinks like that.
Who ever greases the palm gets the final label on the back...oh it's gooood...gobble it up & be quick about it my realtor has more Florida mansion's for me to buy with your money lol...lol...
Was it more likely that your mother ate less processed foods due to the era she lived in? The rise of ultra processed and fast foods has been mostly in the last 50 years. Previous to that people cooked food at home.
You can play the russian roulette sometimes and still survive. This doesn't mean that russian roulette is safe or that should be tried not too often to be safe. Each body reacts in complex ways to these poisons. You can survive to one donut but each time you take a risk.
I suffered, my gut, from sugar and white flour etc. for a very long time until I found a low-carb diet about 3 years ago. I agree with all the things in your talk, doctor Ekberg. Also, I like the way you present things. Thank you! On top of other benefits, low-carb is wonderful to live life without constant hunger or wish to eat. I so enjoy the moment later in the morning my low-carb bread with a cup of coffee. What I struggle with is cheese-not to eat too much cheese. Low-carb doesn´t allow much of it. Goat cheese is expensive in Finland. As I understand it would be the best. In Finland, we have a lot of basic food to prepare your food yourself. It has been natural for me from my parent´s home.
In just two of your videos I have already started a journal to keep up with all of this fantastic information you are sharing. I would really like to give you my gratitude for doing them.
Just learned about you… I’m subscribed 👍🏻 I’m already fairly healthy (@ 60)…almost no sugar for 12+ years, no alcohol or drugs, mostly whole foods in my diet, decent exercise (stopped driving about 15yrs ago to save money and get healthier) So I feel I’m on the right track I want to live to be 100+ 👍🏻 Your info is helping me take it to another level, and this is just the first video…! 😊 I screen-shot your bad ‘food’ list I just threw out my margarine…I believe I will switch to butter Thank you for your efforts…you are doing a world of good! I look forward to all of your videos, past and future 😊
I think the biggest problem here is that all sorts of stuff on the list are so accessible and cheap that you really have to look for alternatives and pay a few times more too. Life is so expensive.
@@Baalaaxa The truth is what society does not want. Can you imagine all the wrong ideology we are currently consuming as truth and what impact it is having on our overall wellbeing and society? Mmmmhhh...I will leave it at that! :/
@@punkynoodle9370 I was thinking this very thing. It should be mandatory in our grammar schools, not just one grade, but repeated every other or every three years.
This was so incredibly educative. Thank you Dr Ekberg. I’m proud of where I brought my diet since my early 30’s, still need to cut on carbs even though they are all “good” complex carbs. Would love to hear your pick on vitamin supplements VS getting them from vegetables!
My mother and her mother were the biggest sweet lovers out, gran use to have 5 tsp of sugar 4 or 5 tim es a day in her tea, my mum ate lollies every day, cake and biscuits with every cup of tea, gran died age 85 and my mum 97, not bad for two sweet addicts
@@glenysmorehu2765 Not bad indeed, many factors come into consideration, including genes and your other health habits. Being a sweet addict doesn’t guarantee you die at 70, neither does smoking or taking heroin. But…
I remember years ago we were at the beach and we took some food with us to have dinner there afterwards, I remember noticing not even the flies would land on the Margarine
My sister is a subscriber of your channel and she suggested to watch your videos. I watched one, and convinced to be one of your million subscribers too. Thank you for researching endless healthy datas and true/honest thoughts . From Jacksonville Florida USA 🇵🇭🇺🇸
I really like the objective way that this is presented, with no reaction or attachment in an emotional levels, this is really helpful information, thank you very much
Well, essentially all products sold in convenient stores/markets should be avoided. The only healthier way is to buy unprocessed foods such as meets, veggies, fruits and then make anything you want from those ingredients. Learn how to make your own peanut butter, cake and icecream. Yes, it takes time but it's doable.
At the end of December, I stopped drinking tea that I had been drinking for probably the past 15 years at least. Not realizing how much sugar and caffeine were in it. Now the tea that I was drinking, had real sugar and no fake additives, but the amount that I was drinking in a day was ridiculous. a 59 ounce container contains over 100 g of sugar. I would easily drink one of those in a day. Now, multiply that by seven days a week over 365 days and 15 years. So at the end of December, I stopped drinking tea altogether. Just drinking water. Once in a while, I have about a 16 ounce glass of tea. But it’s once in every couple days. Usually with a meal. But I live in that, it’s generally all spring water. What I noticed when I stopped drinking it, was that there were some serious withdrawal symptoms. Dizziness, racing heart, and just an overall feeling of tiredness. Which took over a month to get rid of and I still have little bouts here and there. But after a few weeks of not drinking the tea, I noticed that my sleep was deeper and longer. I wasn’t bouncing off the walls, seemingly 24 hours a day like I was… and I generally started feeling much better after those two weeks and it gradually got even better as time went on. I am now about a month and a half or more out of the tea tunnel… and I am certainly more focused than I have been in a long time. Getting things done and slowing down a lot more to enjoy the world around me. I started taking all natural supplements… the multivitamin I take is whole food, made of fruit and vegetable powders along with flowers and seeds and stuff that is good for you. It’s obviously more expensive than most vitamins, about $40 every month and a half or two. Because I don’t take the full dosage, which is supposed to be three pills a day. I generally take two. Because I let whatever food I eat also supplement that. But the supplement that I take, has stuff for brain and heart health. it has all natural stuff in it for digestion, including probiotics. it’s a men’s vitamin, so it has stuff in it to increased testosterone naturally. Along with skin and hair health. It’s a pretty rounded vitamin from primitive scientific called whole food. I would leave a link, but every time I do… It is taken off of RU-vid. I guess trying to help people is a no no here in RU-vid land. Regardless, they make it for men and women. It is loaded with vitamin D3 and K2. Which will help mood and heart health. The K2 dissolves 20:22 heart and sends calcium that you intake to your bones and keep it away from your heart. Along with all of the vitamins and minerals, you need to get and stay healthy. On top of that, I take supplements like tryptophan and theonine, along with Melatonin. The three of these help immensely with not only falling asleep, but staying asleep and sleeping deeply via REM. I haven’t slept this well since I’ve been a child. Just being able to fall asleep without Benadryl or anything else is a blessing. Because between the sugar and the Benadryl and anything else, I was taking to try to fall asleep… It would get me to fall asleep, but never deeply and only for one or two hours and it was light and never restful. So between these foods that the doc says not to eat or to eat in moderation, which is something to really remember. It’s OK to have these things every once in a while in moderation… You just have to look at the labels and make your own decision. There are whole food versions of all of these. Most ketchup is made of corn syrup and a bunch of stuff that you do not need. Yet, there are brands that are simply real tomato paste, vinegar and sugar, sometimes, honey in place of sugar. They also might be a preservative, but it’s all natural. Most foods you can get in versions like this. You just have to look at the label. do some research and make sure that anything organic you are buying, is actually organic. Because anybody can claim that something is organic. Look at the eggs for a great example. There are five different versions of supposedly organic eggs. But the only only ones that, are free range and the animals enjoy grasses and bugs as their main stay diet. Not feed, which is generally genetically modified and full of antibiotics and steroids. But again, you have to do your research. The US government is horrible when it comes to our food supply. Nearly every other country in the world has banned the use of steroids, antibiotics, chemical, preservatives, and fake sugar substitutes. Simply because they know that they are causing disease and killing people. The United States, I think is in such collusion with the corporations that make these foods… That, they are being paid to simply look the other way or to pass bills to allow it. So be proactive, not reactive. Vote for people who have our health and well-being and the fate of this country at their highest priority. Not just their election slogans. But somebody who’s going to do the work to clean up this country and make it right. On top of that, just stay vigilant, and look out for your own own health. Because nobody else is going to do it, but you. A healthy or lifestyle with real food, will make you feel better, happier and you will want to get out and do things and enjoy life. The food that has been created for us over the past 40 years has done nothing but limit our potential, by burying us under a mountain of chemicals, steroids and chemicals that we do not need and don’t exist in nature. That should say everything right there that you need to know. Have a great happy and healthy 2024 and be nice to everybody around you. You never know what’s going on in their lives and they could just be having a bad day.
Can I tell a story? Once when I came back from a rose trip to Tokyo, I went to get cereal and there was a bug in it. Whenever I eat cereal I think of them as bug eggs
Thank you sir. I've worked in the baking industry for 10 years. Seen all kinds of additives that goes into breads and rolls. I really appreciate you confirming my "argument" with folks about artificial sweetners and margarine. Anyway, thank you so much for you taking the time and making this video.
I’m Celiac and used to be depressed as I couldn’t eat any of this stuff, eg breads, biscuits (prefer savoury). And having watched this video I realised that being Celiac is my Saving Grace. 👏🏻
This is what I think as well. Celiac makes it very easy and necessary to not fall back on processed foods. After I reduced even other high carb food I feel even healthier. I even can’t eat a sugary meal now without getting a unpleasent insulin spike. I can feel it’s being bad for my body.
Maybe people with celiac 'disease' are the "normal" ones and what we would have all been in history. It's just the rest of us without this 'disease' somehow have adapted a little more to tolerating it.
If you were starving and had nothing to eat , most items on the list would help to keep you alive , the problem is eating those items on a regular basis when there is lot of excellent options that are healthy .
Hey Dr Ekberg! I would love to know what your diet consists of?! Snacks, drinks, everything. You have so much knowledge that I feel following your eating plan would be of great benefit to many! Thankyou so much for your time, talent and efforts!!!!
Thank you for teaching me this man. I've been eating super bad my whole life and have recently started watching your fasting videos and have picked up tips. 1 week of intermittent fasting and frequent exercise and I've lost 4 pounds!!
Thank you Doctor Ekberg this is the best explanation on the dangers of eating unhealthy! Processed foods are the real danger of our times, killing more people than every other disease and calamity combined. I've made some videos on this topic too, and I really think your explanation is really great. Thank you again for this.
All we must do is not buy the crap and they would not sell it. Who would charge the food processors. The Congress thinks its funny, they would never outlaw the poison.
It's interesting what you said the artificial sweeteners. Everyone of those my mother and my sisters and brorher used those sweeteners religiously. Those packets were all over house when I was growing up. I'm the youngest and never even had a pinch of that stuff. The term "artificial sweeteners" was a turnoff for me so I never indulged it. They all drank diet sodas for decades by the caseload. My mother since passed with health disease, diabetes and kidney failure. My oldest sister also had heart disease and diabetes. At 56 she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. My other sister is diabetic and has congestive heart failure. My brother has heart disease. I'm just about 52 in a few weeks and never been diagnosed with a disease. Just about 5 years ago I decided I was not going to wait on a diagnosis. I focused on eating healthy. I lift weights and run sprint. I actually run a 11.4 100 meter dash at 51. I lost almost 90 lbs. I am so grateful, though I grew up on unhealthy, I didn't indulge some of the worst things you listed. Also as a child I didn't like cake or donuts. I feel like I dodged a bullet. Wow.
Yeah its just sad that some kids grow up in unhealthy families. My kids will need to eat well until they become adults. Possibly keto/atkins/paleo diet. Im glad my parents always forced me to eat the healthy stuff first so i couldnt induldge too much on the bad stuff.
A previous comment said it. ‘You are intuitively wise.’ That, in itself, is a precious gift. My wife’s family are all very heavy and they are incorrigible, and the worst of it, is that they are impervious to change or enlightenment. My wonderful wife is heavy but she eats more wisely, but internalizes all her stress and that really makes it difficult for her to be where she wants to be. I myself am at an ideal weight but I never try to inform because it’s seldom welcome especially being someone who is perceived as being ‘skinny’. That’s where these comment sections are helpful. I have a chance to vent.
You present so well, I easily understood your content. I downloaded the Yuka app to see the hidden additives in foods I need to avoid straight after, thank you
This showed up in my feed, and I almost didn't click on it, AND I expected I'd probably skip through it by fast forwarding a lot. Instead, I was very interested and pleasantly surprised to find myself soaking it all in. I love the way you explained the "why" of it. I also appreciate that you realize some of us aren't ready to cut out all of the junk immediately, and you offer moderation as an answer.
This is a brilliant presentation. I can add that I believe aspartame damaged my sight many years ago. I used to chew Stimorol gum that contained it. I developed floaters. I quit buying the stuff or any gum but the damage was done. Also, I had a friend who was diabetic and he drank a lot of Diet Coke. He suddenly got a brain tumour and died. He was in his thirties. With regard to MSG, I know that is very bad for me because I once collapsed in a Korean restaurant in Cardiff after eating dishes with that stuff in them. I was unconscious and an ambulance was called. Finally, I would point out that modern wheat is also likely to contain traces of Glyphosate herbicide. It is grown as a "Roundup ready" crop and the poison is used nowadays to dessicate the crop before harvesting. We are being poisoned!
It's poison for sure, but I doubt the two examples you used were caused by this. By the way, if you are willing to have doctors poke around in your eyes, they can actually remove floaters.
I’ve enjoyed recently watching your videos as of late. After dumping Carbs as we called it I could always drop 10-30 lbs it never failed. Now that I’m over 50 I understand so much more and I guess we all have over the last 10 years. Your videos have helped a lot. I just can’t at my age eat whatever I want as long as I think it’s low Carb. The science you lay out in your presentations expands ones ability to get it right without guessing. The fasting is a bomb. After a little while u just don’t want to eat for 18 hours; one extends the 12 hours without even thinking about it. I must admit the when I got to the point where I was ready to try it ; the first 2 or 3 days those last 2 hours were a real challenge. You will feel the health benefits in 30 days it’s undeniable. Combining a low impact exercise ruin makes it all fit together. Thanks again for sharing
I don't know whether you check the messages after 3 years, but you really need to discuss the name game with MSG, because the name monosodium glutamate is never used on ingredient lists. The food processing crime syndicate always uses some code name like "natural flavors" or "hydrolyzed yeast" or any of a hundred others.
About 30 years ago now, a close friend of mine who has a degree in physics and chemistry, seriously told me off for drinking diet Pepsi. He said it would give me bladder cancer . I never drank the stuff again , and I try very hard to avoid artificial sweetners. I don't do low fat or diet ' foods ' .👍🙏
